is it possible to somehow add in a prompt in a filter?

[Maria Garcia]

I created a filter but there is a need for use at an individual level and all assignees.  I was wondering if it could prompt for assignee or wildcard for all assignees.

Hi  @Maria Garcia

there are no options to put a prompt into a Jql filter.

you could use different filters

- one for all assignees e.g assignee not empty

- one for a specific assignee , amending a filter clause to change a name isn’t user friendly but useable.

Creating a custom report is wildly difficult if you have some dev experience. See https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/creating-a-jira-report/

I’m not aware of any plugins that address parameterising but you may find specific reports close to your requirement.

what is your objective with these reports?

Hi @Tom Lister,

Thank you so much for your response!  I already have a filter with all assignees (for a manager's use), however, there was a need for assignees to look at their own items.  I suppose I can create one for a specific assignee and update as needed.

Thank you again for your help!

Hi 

check out the currentUser() function in JQL

E.g.

assignee = currentUser()

Although there should be an inbuilt report for lAssigned to me”.

There is also a dashboard gadget that shows the same data.
